Car Park
New Car Park for Bedford Town Centre
A meeting of Bedford Borough Council Executive
this week approved the creation of a new public car park south of
the river at St Mary’s Gardens.
Subject to planning permission being granted,
this investment will convert what is currently a staff car park
between Borough Hall and Bedford College into a public car park,
providing over 40 parking spaces including 3 disabled
spaces.
With the new footbridge linking St Mary’s
Gardens and Riverside Bedford in place, the car park will be ideal
for the popular new development, especially for visitors from south
of the river. It will also add new parking capacity for
Bedford Town Centre, which is on course for a fourth successive
year of footfall growth.
Mayor of Bedford Borough Dave Hodgson said:
“Just over the bridge from Riverside Bedford, this new public car
park will help meet increased demand for parking as town centre
footfall continues to grow. With ongoing investment in our car
parks and a free parking option available every day in Bedford town
centre, we are constantly working to help make Bedford town centre
an even more enjoyable, accessible and vibrant town for all.”
